Science Process Skills: Question Guide

This document provides guidance on answering science process skill questions. It explains the types of questions asked (variables that are changed, measured, or kept the same), examples of how to state the aim or purpose of an investigation, relationships between variables, examples of conclusions, how to predict results, and how to describe patterns or trends in observations. It also provides a sample question involving an investigation on how temperature affects the time for a cloth to dry, and asks questions to test understanding of changed, measured and same variables, trends, relationships, predictions, and conclusions that can be drawn.
